OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority said construction on the state’s longest bridge will begin early next year. This is part of the controversial “Access Oklahoma Plan” that will eventually connect I-44 and I-35.

The state’s longest bridge will span 1.25 miles, going over the Canadian River.

“At least for a little while, this will be the longest bridge in the state,” said Joe Echelle, Exec. Dir. of OTA.

The project is picking up speed after the bridge contract got approval on Tuesday.
